Paul Martin Gets A Juno
Canada's Liberal leader Paul Martin achieved the distinction when he told celebrities and wannabes at the awards, in Edmonton, Alberta, that the music industry is a part of Canada's sovereignty, to ringing applause from Big Music PR hacks who are desperately trying to find ways to counter the defeat suffered by its CRIA. More here http://p2pnet.net/story/1142
Amoung the notable comments made by Martin at the Juno Awards were:
What planet is he on? Second most important? We're not second, third or fouth ... it doesn't exist." "the Canadian music industry" is "an important part of our sovereignty". He also said the "Canadian industry is the second most important" in the world and is "an important part of our economy"
Looks like someone is getting a big check in the mail, lol. :devil :cross :ass

Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".
is "juno" canadian for a blowjob from several record executives?
just curious
Juno's are our pathetic music awards that nobody watches. I am particularly unfortunate since my home city is hosting it tonight.
It's mainly going to be all a-hub about the judge's music ruling. And you can bet I'm not voting for Paul Martin in our election this year.
Stop downloading music, Boycott the RIAA!

Juno is the Canadian equivilant of the US's Grammy.
I never liked Paul from the getgo, even before he became PM and this just makes me not like him more. And in actual fact Canada is the 6th biggest music industry in the world.
1st - States
2nd - UK
3rd - Japan
4th - Australia
5th - India
6th - Canada
EDIT: I love the Juno's as its a great way to celebrate Canadas unique and awesome music.
what was the award for How to Screw up a country in 12 easy steps. :green6
To Paul martin kiss my :ass & a big hello :devil2
Juno = Grammy
Both are pointless awards for creating crappy music.
And selling them for top doller.Originally Posted by Siskabush

Speak on your own behave. Canadian music rocks, from Blue Rodeo to Shaye to Nelly to Sam Roberts. I think Canada makes good music.
hey u live in edmonton, me to, ya the junos are lame
isnt juno a isp, lol
You're right but Canada being 6th place we are a large source of income for the American Music companies ( I read somewhere Canada is one of the largest markets in north america for them) for the which are no doubt spending large amounts of money on lobbying our politicans, if Paul Martin's comment are not proof of that........

94% of our "culture" is bought by americans. Came across the stats when reading about the new heritage minister ... canadian artists are already wishing they had sheila copps back instead of the social worker who likes sports.
Juno is canadian for trash.. We hear that same damn speech about american music awards show.. Saying kids spent days in a locked room downloading music to see how much they could aquire.. I think they was basically downloading from each others pc..
How would you know that? Have you ever seen the Junos? if yes then you would know that they never talk about downloading music. The Juno show is to give the 10 last awards and to showcase some great Canadian talent, and sometimes to take a stab at people like Janet.
